Police checking cold cases for Gibson ties

Police say Clyde Gibson could be serial killer

Police call him a serial killer and now multiple agencies are scouring cases from the past checking to see if Clyde Gibson has any connection.

Indiana State Police has thousands of missing persons cases and some unsolved murders.

Police said they all lack pivotal clues preventing them from getting answers.

“Solving these crimes is like putting together a gigantic puzzle, OK? You get pieces at a time and you put the puzzle together. You never know which is going to be the most valuable piece to the puzzle,” said ISP Sgt. Jerry Goodin.

Gibson is charged with killing two southern Indiana women and a third woman was found buried in his backyard.

Police said it's probable more victims are out there and ISP is checking to see if that's the case.

“If we get a person that has a specific method of operation on how they do a crime, where they targeted only females, it was always on a Saturday night, as you start investigating these crimes there are certain things, certain methods of operation that most suspects have. Obviously, we start trying to tie those things together first,” Goodin said.

As they sort out possible cases tied to Gibson, police are always asking for more tips.

“Any tip that we have received on the Gibson case, we have followed to the very end,” Goodin said.

Louisville metro police said they are also investigating their missing persons cases.
